Recently described custom gigantic paint rack from Black Grom Studio made specifically for my collection of Citadel paints wasn't the only rack I bought from this company. I also bought two lesser racks made for Vallejo drop bottles - one very small, kind of 'working' rack and second much bigger, but still small in comparison in my custom built for Citadel paints.

Smaller rack was delivered inside foil string bag, containing three hdf panels with laser-cut parts still attached to the frames, larger was punch out already.

Both racks are delivered without assembly guides at all, fortunately their assembly is both rather straightforward and possible in just one - correct - way. This is possible thanks to the well thought of construction of the racks - most of the joints are slightly asymetrical, and it guides user well enough.

Assembly is done with glue - parts of racks won't hold each other without it and, as I said already, it is pretty straightforward. The only hard part is the necessity of assembling practically all parts at the same time, as the racks are not modular in any way. You just have to glue all parts together, at the same time. This makes test assembly a good idea, in order to know where and how stick parts together.

Smaller rack is designed for 13 Vallejo paints, which are stored upside down. This is a very good idea, as it stops drying up paints and makes finding correct color a breeze. Additionally, rack will hold 16 brushes of varying sizes, including large ones, and one small needle, toothpick or similar tool.

Larger rack holds 95 paints and it may stand in two positions - flat, when the bottles are standing (and may be put inside holes upside down to see colors) and on its side, when the bottles are lying horizontally (and they can't be put in with bottoms visible as they tend to fell off - this will be corrected in next batches). Due to very large number of paints inside this rack, finding correct color may be difficult at times (but personally I prefer larger storage space anyway).
